How To Interface Seven Segment Display With Arduino

A seven segment display is an electronic display device for displaying numeral. Seven segment display are widely used in the digital clock, TV, electronic meter and other electronic devices which display numerical value. Simple seven segment display image is shown below:

Seven-segment Display may be used in two modes:

1: Common anode ( all of the positive terminal are connected)

2: Common cathode (all of the negative terminal are connected)

In this tutorial, we tend to use common cathode mode to display the numerical number.
